She called the last two sell offs before anyone else
“That guy has called 20 of the last three sell offs.” That’s an old saying from the floor. We used it to describe the permabears. You know the type: they tell you stocks are going to get cut in half, the US is going to collapse, and the only solution is buy gold. Or maybe […]

The Market Is Giving Away Free Lottery Tickets
Good evening, everybody. The S&P 500 (SPX) ripped 2.5% higher earlier today after an Iranian official signaled a willingness to negotiate. Stocks had already climbed 1.3% on reports that ships were moving through the Strait of Hormuz again. Then the headline hit, and the index tacked on another full percent in minutes. None of that […]
One Signal Bonds Are Flashing Right Now

The Dow dropped 1.73%, and the Russell looked just as rough. We blew through 6,400 on SPX and closed at 6,368. It capped off a […]
The Bond Signal Everyone Missed Monday

The market gave us some interesting signals that suggest we might be starting a relief rally. (To watch Monday's video […]
Why Oil Memification Spooked Markets
What's up Trader's Edge? Boy, what a day. I was saying this last night as oil was heading to 120 bucks in the futures, this is memification. It's no longer just the regular market. (To watch Monday's video replay, tap this link.) We just witnessed the memification of oil, and what it can do to […]
When VIX Goes Backward, Throw Out the Playbook
Hi Traders, We are BACK. After a huge success in Florida we are ready to roll this week. I'll be back live at 10 AM ET for the State of the Market/Ticker Highlight show. As we sit here oil is up 15 bucks and is topping 100 in the future. Is this too far too […]
Did Monday’s wild open teach you this critical trading lesson?
What's up, Traders Edge? Monday delivered a masterclass in why you never trade the opening bell after weekend news. The S&P 500 (SPX) opened at session lows below 6,800, rocketed to the 50-day moving average at 6,902, then closed essentially flat, up just 2.74 points after a wild 105-point range. The culprit? Iran war headlines […]
